Abbott: We're in 2 Kings 17:4. Let's go over the story. Hoshea quit
paying tribute to the king of Assyria and sent envoys to Egypt. I forget
the King of Egypt's name.
Costello: So.
Abbott: Huh?
Costello: So.
Abbott: You're right, it's not important, we'll let it go for now. So,
the king of Assyria ...
Costello: So the king of Egypt.
Abbott: I was gonna say the king of Assyria arrested Hoshea.
Costello: That's right.
Abbott: So, the king of Assyria ...
Costello: No, So the king of Egypt.
Abbott: Let me tell the story!
Costello: Well, then, tell it right!
Abbott: Who arrested Hoshea?
Costello: The king of Assyria.
Abbott: Is that so?
Costello: No, that's the king of Egypt.
Abbott: So, the king of Egypt?
Costello: Right.
Abbott: So the king of Egypt arrested Hoshea?
Costello: No, the king of Assyria arrested Hoshea.
Abbott: But you just said the king of Egypt did.
Costello: I didn't say So.
Abbott: Oh, come on! So, the king of Assyria ...
Costello: No, he's the king of Egypt.
Abbott: How do we keep coming back to Egypt?
Costello: You said the king's name.
Abbott: What makes you think I even know his name?
Costello: You said So!
Abbott: I did not!
Costello: I heard you!
Abbott: Let me tell the story!
Costello: Then tell it right!
